Anti the Anteater is the most adorable northern tamandua you’ll ever meet. Anti is not like the other anteaters in his family, instead of hunting ants for lunch he’d rather be friends with all the small creatures he finds in the wild. His behavior might seem strange to most, but Anti doesn’t mind, he just wants to have fun with his friends and go on adventures with them. Would you like to be friends with Anti?
